deal or no deal

At daycare, they instituted a negotiating tactic with Mr. K to help insure proper behavior and productive potty times. If Kenny doesn't want to do something right away (like, I dunno, go potty), then they make a "deal" with him. He gets to do X and in return he agrees to do Y. Simple and fairly effective. However, now that it's been going on for a little while now, Kenny has seemingly begun to take advantage of this easy way to quell any request or argument.

With a shrug, and a wave of his hand, Kenny placates his parents by agreeing to whatever they're offering. "Deal," he says.

"You don't need to go pee-pee? Okay, we'll watch a little more Diego, then you have to go potty."
"Deal."

"Okay, you can play with your cars for a few more minutes, then you need to put your pants on."
"Deal."

"Kenny, you need to..."
"Deal."

Of course, more often than not, he incredibly forgets the deal he has just agreed to, thus necessitating another round of intense negotiations; which invariably end with a shrug, wave and disinterested, "deal."

I'm beginning to wonder if he has a future as Secretary of State.
